After spending a week behind bars, 24-year-old Yaroslav Kolchin appeared in court Friday, where a prosecutor offered him a deal that involved 90 days in jail, WCBS 880’s Irene Cornell reported. But a judge did not like the idea of jail time and ordered the prosecutor to come up with a community service penalty.

The incident was the third security breach at a New York City bridge in just over a month.

On July 22, two American flags on the Brooklyn Bridge’s towers were replaced with whitewashed versions of Old Glory. Two German artists have claimed responsibility.
